Don't worry...its Aiko i believe will initiate it because she's the typical type of good girl in the series (i think)

And as a good girl, what she did inside the her shop was not a matter of choice. Of course she didn't want to miss that chance - she wanna give it all to Shin actually. What she wanted to do was take him in her arms and kiss him, then throw him down on the bed and ravish him until they were both so weakened by thirst and hunger that they had to emerge for provisions. But she couldn't even tell him how she felt, so she did what she thought was the right thing to do - she throw the sweater onto Shin's face and sneakily kiss him during that moment when Shin was trying to pull out that sweater from his face Because that's what a good girl would do.*borrow form Guardian Enzo's quote*

Omg, she pawned Shinichirou now here's the latest percentage of success for the three girls.

Aiko now leading with 50% (the sweater tactics to get Shin's first kiss was awesome).
Noe at 40%. (Well despite Shin ask her to go out with him, and she ask Shin to spell love using rocks that's cool but not enough to beat Aiko's strategy).
Hiromi at 10%. (Well it went down to drain after what she revealed to Shin in episode 06).

Let's see what episode 08 brings next week.

Spoiler for preview and slight speculation:

(It seems Shin's mother felt guilt upon her actions towards Hiromi as shown in the preview)

Reason: added spoiler

This episode made it clear that Noe never thought of Shin that way before. Mentally speaking, she was childish in the way she approached him, giving strange gifts all over. However, when Shin brought up the subject of liking, that was the impetus for her sudden need to grow up (see the scene with her brother when she's scared of the change she's undergoing).

Even now I'm supporting the Hiromi X Shin combo, I still can't put up with her behavior. One moment is attentive then the next totally ignoring. She's too indecisive and a flip flop. I really hope the ending doesn' leaving Noe and Ai crying, I really like them too.......AHHHH I like all the girls...what to do????????????????

Shoot Shin and it will all be over, or just make 2 clones so each girl gets one....

She had just revealed to Shin that his mother had told her they might be related. If she does'nt have that in her way later on it would'nt surprise me if she did something spontaneous like Aiko did at the end of this episode. It also did'nt help that she heard from Jun that Shin and Noe were going to date and then sees Shin chase after Noe in this episode.

I also like all 3 girls. First it was Noe in episode 1 then I began leaning towards Hiromi starting at episode 2. Aiko was a distant third but now she's in the mix. Unfortunately you can't have an ending that satisfies everyone.

Great episode. Surprised Nobuse wouldn't take the hint, ignoring reality and guilt tripping Aiko. What a loser. Again, Noe was too cute this episode. Loved the Noe x Hiromi fallout. And although Shin says he loves Hiromi, there's something in his "confession" to Noe that leaves some doubt about how things will turn out in the end. Finally, the big shocker this episode -- Aiko and the scarf. Seriuosly didn't think she would make such a bold move. Can't wait for next weeks episode++

Maybe Shin will be with Noe for a while,but later break up because Noe feels his heart is with Hiromi.Then when he get with Hiromi,he is constantly reminded about Noe and realize he likes her for real.Hiromi is heartbroken and break up with him.Meanwhile Jun who is revealed to like his sister as something else is also heartbroken.Hiromi and Jun console each other and become a couple.Meanwhile Aiko realise Nobuse is the one who has always likes her and yeah they become a thing too.Happy end.

The character i despise the most is Hiromi.Can't she be honest with herself and the people surrounding her?She is really indecisive.

Damn,why do they always end the episode on a cliffhanger?The agony of waiting for the next one............

Can you really blame her? She just told the guy she's had a crush on for the longest time that she might be his sister!!! What do you expect her to do!!! Even if she's honest Shin's mom is out to eat her! Though I suspect she might finally cave in after she finally see's Noe and Shin on a date or something, similar to what cracked Aiko.

Aiko didn't really mind Nobuse because she could keep seeing Shin, but once Shin was in danger of being paired up with Noe, she cracked and now zomgz she is bold. I suspect Hiromi will come to her senses, brother or no she loves him, and turn into the nice Hiromi we saw when she photographed Shin with the toothpaste/shaving cream.

Until this episode, you could easily say that about all 3 of the girls. However, there really was nothing stopping either Ai or Noe from taking action except their own indecisiveness. On the other hand, Hiromi does, even before the show started she has known that the childhood friend she lives with and likes might be her brother.

This raises all sorts of questions with the "might". What if he is? What if he isn't? People act based on what they know from their own situation, but Hiromi doesn't know her own situation, which is why she can't "spit everything out".

I'm not saying that Hiromi should win, it's just not fair that you hate her for being indecisive when they're all indecisive.

I see that but he is making it VERY convincing that he does have an interst in her. Maybe so convincing that it will soon turn real?
Anyway to pull up such a stunt he has to at least have considered it...50% for the deal and 50% as real interest imo...

Spoiler for about shin's feelings:

well, look what he does after he hooked up with Noe! he needs a shoulder to cry on and ends at the only person he can confide his feelings. HE can't even talk about how he feels with the infitile Noe.
HE even questioned himself if Noe really loves his after they got together. I feel sad for him because he lost the only person that actually understand him and conforted him. It is solo for shin for now on, no more Aiko to go crying to.

Spoiler:

He really can't go and tell noe that he was set up but the smartass brother of hers. Thankgod even he knows that somethings that just can't be said. The question is misplaced and should be directed at his own feelings but what can a good boy do but to please everyone

Indeed he is going to be so lonely now but rather than feel sorry, I can't help but lawl. To be honest he did dig himself this grave, and is now about to hammer the final nail into it, or maybe he already has with ai confessing her feelings out of nowhere. He really has his hands full

mixed feeling about that episode.
after eps6's revelations i didnt see what they could do beside what happens during this episode. So everything that happened was predictable and didnt really surprised me or made me look forward to the next scene. the pace was good the direction was good too everything was good but i had that feeling of knowing beforehand everything that happened.
in the previous i got scared a bit cause i wasnt really paying attention only watching from a corner of my eye and when hiromi hold the burned picture i first though it was a gun, i was like wtf it s not SD!! then i played it back and saw it was the picture.

It's frustrating when Shin's dad ask Shin what is going on, and Shin replies with a, "nothing, really." He had the chance to know the truth that he is contemplating, and he blew it right there. So frustrating...

Jun is a freak... enough said.

Noe is really cute. I really don't get her. Is she naive or perceptive?

Nobuse... I respect the guy. He was dignified when he was talking to Shin, and giving up on Aiko. I didn't like how he was afraid to hear Aiko's response, but that was a perfectly normal reaction to the person you love the most in your life. Furthermore, he gave room for Aiko to come back, as mentioned above.

We are just barely passed the halfway point in the series, and this much have happened already. Hence, whatever is happening now (the couplings) will not end this way in the end.

Aiko's story appears to be coming to end soon. She was desperate and frustrated, but Shin would never consider hurting his best friend Nobuse. She made her move, but sadly, will not get the results she wants. She did get a kiss out of all this, however.

Noe will regain her true tears when Shin breaks up with her.

Hiromi truly is a tragic person in this series. She is stuck between a rock and a hard place, and does not know how to get out of it. Nothing she does right now seems to help her get out of problems. Although, if Shin actually has the nerves to confess his true feelings for her, I feel the story will definitely take a turn for the better, and she'll find a way to make it work.

Well I understand that. But she went from being close friends (as a child) to some what friends with an awkward atmosphere, but not she doesn't even look at him as a friend. Ignoring him, distancing herself, and hurting him. If they can't become a couple, there is not point to toss everything away. Indeed they're both at fault and it's understandable that there will be an awkward moment in such a situation for awhile. But she is some what completely cold hearted now.

If only Shin talked to his family, mainly his dad, the truth would be revealed. I mean it's not hard, he had plenty of chances to talk.

THOUGHT THIS WON'T HAPPEN, these combo would be somewhat easing:
Shin X Noe - building up their relationship and making it deep.
Hiromi X Jun - they find comfort in one another and grow a wanting to be with each other.
Ai X Nobuse - he doesn't give up on Ai and Ai begins to truly look at him and fall for him.

I'm one of those hearting aching ending haters, so it eases me to match people up at the end. Most likely this won't happen though. I'm now rooting for Shin X Hiromi.....

I honestly hope that Shin and Noe get together in the end, but we all know that's not going to happen. Even if he doesn't I'd still be content with either Hiromi or Ai-chan. It's weird though, whenever there's a love-triangle or love-square (in this case love-square LOL), I usually only like one girl only while despising the other two. But, I actually have an attachment with all three girls. They are exemplify different personalties which all attract me.
